OMNISCIENT ORANGES?

OMNISCIENT PERSPECTIVE.

When an agent said I “handled the omniscient perspective well”, my early grounding in Latin popped its head up: Omni = all, and Scient = thinking was my guess, which didn’t get me very far, so I looked it up.

According to my dictionary, omniscient means “having infinite knowledge or understanding” and perspective means “a way of regarding situations”.
Um – still no wiser – so back to her email where, by putting OP into the context of her subsequent remarks, I worked out that I think she means “telling the story from more than one character’s viewpoint."

It’s nice to know I’m doing it right, whatever it is, but I could use a Dictionary of OBSCURE LITERARY TERMS.

ORANGES AND LEMONS

No, I am not going to embroil you in a childish game, so don't run away!

I eat an orange every morning, and the local ones are just the right size to cut into six wedges and eat from the skin – leaning over the sink because there is a bit of inelegant slurping in the process.
Distilled sunshine - dleicious!

And the lemons? We were given a bag of lemons straight off the tree this week, so I made lemon curd. The best and easiest recipe I have ever seen is from a handwritten recipe book we found when the OH’s mother died.

See my recipe page on the right if you want to try it for yourself, but if you use shop-bought lemons, wash them well first to get rid of the wax the importers coat them with.
